I wouldn't bet on it either, as I only make bets I'm sure to win. But this.. it sucks. I'd prefer it's random. Because if it's on purpose, if this is by design? It won't end well.
I'd read someone mentioned that the ghost thing was one of seals that broke already before the Apocalypse. And on top of that, feeling stronger emotions and everything going on before that certainly didn't help that either. But it's impossible, you can't break a seal twice. It breaks, and it's done, no doing it again. But then, these seals rarely make sense anyway.
